IBM MQ: Why is my cluster sender channel trying to connect to 1414 when I have clearly specified 1415 (or any other port)?

Cluster sender channels seems to get “stuck” sometimes and fall back to port 1414 when trying to find the cluster repository.

The solution:
Delete the channel and create it again

DEFINE CHANNEL(TO.REPO) CHLTYPE(CLUSSDR) TRPTYPE(TCP) CONNAME('127.0.0.1(1415)') CLUSTER(EXTERNAL.CLIENTS) DESCR('Cluster-sender channel from MYQM01 to repo at MYREPO01')

Tested on MQ 9.0.5.0 and Red Hat Linux 7.5

  1. Would altering the channel also work? Have you reported it to IBM in a PMR?

  2. Next time check to make sure there are no space characters embedded in the conname for example: CONNAME(‘127.0.0.1(1415)’), I found that the port will be ignored in this case.
